Sip on this
At home, blend together four large strawberries with half a banana and one and a half cups of sparkling mineral water for a sweet soda that's just 38 calories.
Treat your feet
In the shower, buff away calluses with a foot file or pumice stone. While your feet are still damp, massage them using a thick hand cream.
Go undercover
Use a sunscreen with SPF 30 for daily use, and reach for SPF 50 on those days when you'll be out in the garden or at the beach. And don't skimp: you need one ounce (roughly the size of a shot glass ) for sufficient protection.
Start crunching
Stock up on a variety of dried, roasted, or toasted seeds, such as pumpkin, sesame, chia, flax and sunflower. Sprinkle them into baked goods, sauces, and smoothies, use them to top grilled fish or chicken, or toss them with salads.
Back it up
Get more out of your daily walks by challenging yourself. Every so often, turn around and walk backwards. Start with a few steps and work your way up to a minute a time. The switch engages different muscles to help improve balance and strengthen your core.
Try Zumba
Try Curves Circuit with Zumba fitness and you will have a blast with their personal Zumba instructor, coaching you all the steps and moves. You will firm and tone up those hip, abs, tums and bums. Get your groove back for just €2 per class.
